PATNA, INDIA - SEPTEMBER 21: Bihar Police personnel attempt to regulate a large queue of women gathered outside the Chief Minister's Secretariat to submit application forms for residential land allotment under the state government's 'Operation Basera-2' scheme on September 21, 2026 in Patna, India. Hundreds of landless women from Mahadalit, Scheduled Caste, Scheduled Tribe, and Extremely Backward Classes (EBC) communities arrived in the state capital to apply for three decimals of land (Vasbhumi) allotted for house construction under the welfare drive. Revenue and land reforms minister Dilip Kumar Jaiswal on Monday appealed to landless families not to travel to Patna to apply for residential plots under the state govts housing housing land scheme, saying applications can be submitted online, at circle offices or through special camps being organised at the panchayat level.
